I just installed xcode with the ios sdk on my mac and it wanted near 10GB of space. Thats not to say i like Visual Studio, but…

That is too much for an IDE! And if you notice it, Visual Studio always crashes whenever you’ve been developing with it for two hours, isn’t it a little strange?

Eclipse is not an alternative for nothing… All it does is to eat 100MB of your memory every minute… Also as an java IDE, there is a lot better (even netbeans is better), because if you must say building an IDE that gets everything through plugins, is not a smart idea.

Runs MAC OSX in your PC. Forget windows and microsoft. Run xCode. Happy coding. pass it along!

Again and again. Routinely as a part of normal software development and testing. Maybe publicize ‘security holes’ in the underlying APIs that ONLY affect Xcode as well. As a ‘public service’. All things that they do for Apple’s other products, as well as anybody else who nominally ‘competes’ with America’s favorite monopoly abuser.

If I can run xcode on my windows box I would not have a reason to buy a Mac or even a Mac-Mini.

Apple is not a software company they are a hardware company. Software is just the bonus thing they give us. That is the reason their applications do not have any type of DRM.

But, xcode in a windows box would be nice. Because after all. I am a PC liviging in a Mac World.

First of all, xcode cannot compare with the flexibility and power of visual studio. someone above said microsuck visual studio and wanted eclipse. Eclipse and all java based environments are just as stupid as them not being response on a 3 GHZ machine.
Get real. Pfff, dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

I am trying to get into iPhone development, and see GNUStep as a
good way to get familiar with Cocoa etc.

Who says Cocoa cant run on windows ? GNUSteps implementation may be buggy on windows, but it can be used as a stepping stool before investing in a Mac (Yes I plan to purchase a Mini)

If XCode was released with support for GUNStep or whatever implementation of the OpenStep frameworks, it would be just GREAT !!!

(But then I wont invest in a Mac, so apple would lose out…)

I remember reading a article about steve wanting more applications developed for mac, mainly games, because they rulled the gaming industry before he was kicked out. If xCode was ported to windows, what do you think would happen to the future of games? most companies use Microsucks visual studio to create games, very very few of them dont use it. But if they were given an development suite that runs both on linux, windows AND mac, bam…they just increased there revenue of games, linux users want games. Mac users want games. This is where xcode would be the best solution, either that or microsfot releases visual studio for mac, which i dont see that EVER happening, but i could be wrong. but one the of the 2 need to happen.
